Dodgers' Sergio Santos happy with pitches Wednesday

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

Dodgers pitcher Sergio Santos surrendered one earned run on two hits, a wild pitch and an errant throw in an inning of work Wednesday but also struck out four batters in the inning and expressed happiness with all three of his pitches after the outing, MLB.com reports.

"I came here as prepared as I could," Santos said. "I didn't want to be seen as a rehab pitcher. I'm healthy, and today I had a good feel for all three of my pitches."

Santos dealt with elbow issues last season but has shared the team lead with five appearances this spring in his bid to earn a spot in the bullpen.

Santos was a key part of the organization from 2010-2011, but his career didn't go as well after being traded to Toronto. Santos spent the past three seasons dealing with injuries. In 2014, he posted an 8.57 ERA over 21 innings. The Blue Jays declined his option, making him a free-agent.
